I got a chip on my windshield after the Tochi Mobile was rained upon by a rock shower on the 401. I thought I'd had to pay like $60 to repair it, but fortunately, the chip only scratched the outer coating and not the glass. No need to repair.

My attempt at catching the dice spinning to a stop. Took like 30x and this is my best shot. The other 29? The dice rolled out of the frame. lol

PP.

One of the lessons I remembered from Cooking class was how to cut a pineapple. B. Lang showed us how to cut one simply because most people don't know where to start. At the time, I've never had to cut a pineapple, so I thought there would be some special trick... but nope. It's just making the appropriate cuts, as you'd for any other large fruit or melon.

It has taken me many years, but I finally got my Pineapple cutting chance today. Pineapples taste sooo good.

After 2 months, I finally completed the story portion of FF XIII. Wow. The ending was pretty bittersweet, and now, we live on to create a new dawn...

Now I have Leona Lewis's "My Hands" stuck in my head...

View On Black

Doing my due diligence in verifying that the tree trunk diameter is less than 8". With the geographer's guidance and blessing, this tree finally met chainsaw.

A waterfalls just outside the Terra Cotta Conservation Area, just off of the Bruce Trail. We were here for a geocache of course. I love being able to visit these pretty sites that I'd otherwise never know about.

Today was a big day... in addition to celebrating 10 Years of GPS (thanks Pres. Clinton!!), prastost and I found 8 different cache types... never would have been possible without the careful releases of a set of new caches by res2100. :P Mucho thanks to res2100 for organizing such a great event!

Chicken and Egg. Forever interwined in an never ending connection.

The beginning and the end. Both taste good in the pan.

Attended my very first Toronto F.C. game with Doris and Sasha. With the World Cup coming up, soccer is becoming a bigger blip on my radar. What better way to set up the atmosphere than with first row seats to tonight's Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact - a rematch of last year's NCC finals.

The picture depicts De Rosario of the TFC in the motion of kicking the opening and decisive goal of the match, coming off a corner kick. Some highlights include Montreal Impact player getting red carded for sucker punching an FC player and Fier making some awesome saves. Even better is that Sasha is a Montreal fan.. lol. The atmosphere was incredibly awesome, with the energized Red Patch Boys chanting, stomping and cheering in the section right beside us. Just cannot help but sing and stomp along with them.

I was downtown to attend a board meeting near the Air Canada Centre. Despite the ongoing NHL and NBA playoffs, Air Canada Centre was unusually quiet... Oh yeah.

From the Toronto Star:

Q: What do you call 25 millionaires sitting around watching the Stanley Cup playoffs on TV?

A: The Toronto Maple Leafs.

Q: What do you call 25 million fans sitting around and watching someone else’s team in the Stanley Cup playoffs on TV?

A: That’s right, Leafs fans.

I wanted to take a picture where noise contributed to the photo. I went for the sepia treatment on this shed, but the blinds just totally kill the mood. Will have to find a better subject next time.
